Citrix has an Android Receiver app that allows you to connect to a Citrix virtual machine. I have used it to connect to my Citrix hosted Win 7 virtual worstation at work and it's fantastic. Now, I wouldn't say that I'd want to use it all the time. But I'm a system adminstrator and I'm on call 24 hours a day once every four weeks, and in a pinch, and paired with a iGo folding bluetooth keyboard and a 4G tethering phone it allows me to address a crisis at work from practically anywhere.
That OnLive Win 7 desktop is probably going to present a similar experience, and depending on your needs you might find it quite useful.
The way I see it, the concept is exciting and geeky, but not very useful, especially on Flyer.
Ability to connect to your own PC is a lot more useful, but less exciting (been done several years ago).
I downloaded it for my Ipad. I find it utterly craptastic. I could not do anything with it but Office. I already have this from work and my home computers but with much more functionality. It's a little better then RDP on a good connection but nothing to write home about. I should pull my Ipad sim from my laptop and try it with 3G maybe their secret sauce works well over cell networks. At th time, I was just not impressed to go through the effort of getting my laptop and pulling the sim. Its a PITA to put the micro and adapter back in the laptop.
anyone got a copy of this working? i can't get it from the market says it's not compatible with my flyer.. thats a load of crap considering i have the onlive player on my tab already wtf it says htc jetstream is in working devices list .. means we should be able to too! even if we only have one core damnit
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.p5sys.android.jump
Jump desktop is only 99 cents and works brilliantly on the flyer.
In general I find the onlive service gimmicky at best... It's over priced compared to console gaming with interior graphics and while cheaper than PC gaming it offers none of the benefits. I would not bother with anything they release for the most part.. There are better solutions for anything you would want to do. The service works better than I thought it would, which means it isn'ta key logger and it works to some degree... Bit still but worth it.

Hello everyone,
Just thought I'd let you know that splashtop remote hd(the tablet version) does not work on the galaxy tab 10.1. the regular version does work though, which is really kind of sad. I don't know how you can make a tablet specific version of an app and have it be worse on tablets than your original version. Hopefully there will be an update soon...

I got a reply from their support
Thanks lot for your great support!
Splashtop Remote HD has compatibility issue with Galaxy Tab 10.1 . Our
engineers are work on this now. We will fix this issue soon. I hope new
version will be available within one or two week. The solid schedule
still depends on whether there are other issues on this device. So I
can't promise the exact release time.
Before we can provide new version to fix this issue, if you need refund,
please go to http://support-remote.splashtop.com and open a ticket for
this. Our support team will tell you what information is needed, and
refund ASAP. After refund, you need to purchage our app again if you
want to use it.
Sorry for this issue again.

What is the difference?
I hope there's support for higher resolutions. My desktop is 1440 x 900 I hate how splashtop changes the resolution when connected to android.
Market now says Galaxy Tab 10.1 is supported for Splashtop HD
and there's currently a 50% discount ...w00t!

Does this mean I can watch netflix through this app? Do you have to be on the same wifi nework or something, can you use this miles away from your home?

I have yet to try over another wifi network but I can almost watch hulu vids when tethering over my Vibrant on 3g.
So my guess is it will work fine over a real wifi connection.
At home I was watching both netflix and hulu flawlessly + playing Civ V... for me this is an amazing app and well worth the money.
Do you know if someone can use the desktop while I'm using this on the tablet? But for $5, I'll just get it in either case.
Works pretty dang good on my tab now. Worth the bucks, and fun to play tricks on my GF from the other room when my computer opens up a word doc and starts typing to her... lol.

Well the point of remote desktop is to use your actual system will at a different location. So the other person will be able to use the computer, they will just be messing with whatever you're trying to do . I "tried" it the other night with my laptop and it seemed alright. Tried playing minecraft but that requires a keyboard+mouse to be playable but it was fairly smooth. I'm sure netflix and hulu would work fine.
You should be able to remote desktop to a computer on another network as long as you set up the router for that computer to do so (port forwarding, I believe??) I think there are instructions on the splashtop website for doing just that.
Sale over ?
It's still on sale, I just bought. Using it now and it works amazingly well (over wifi), far better than the other RDP clients I've tried so far. Next stop will be testing it's performance over the wifi hot spot on my captivate.
Five bucks already well spent.
Edit: works over 3G, but not super well. I suspect my mediocre upload speed is to blame. Afraid there's not a lot I can do about that right now. I'm moving soon, so hopefully my new place will have some better options for internet.
just thought i'd add i'm using this right now.. posting this reply.. from manhattan.. remotely connected to my pc in eugene oregon. i am tethering from my 4g tmobile and its almost as good as my wifi from home. Speedtest shows a 50ms ping and a 6- 8mbps connection.. I can stream netflix or stream movies from my pc and they are pretty darn smooth.. 5000 miles away!! Splashtop rocks!! I am using it on my ipad though.. been waiting for the hd version to be released before i buy a tab 10.1 since remote desktop is just about all i use... looks like its time to buy one.
gonna try it and see
I wanted to hear from the users what their experience has been with Lapdocks and/or webtop. Id like to know what and how you are using your lapdock. and to those that are using webtop over hdmi or the docking station, what things have improved your productivity at work and home.
Im trying to weight the pros and cons. of course the cons are always that little thing called $$$. not sure how i would utilize these products and want to know how the current users are.
is it just the "i can do this with my phone" or have they made youre life better?
and to give you an idea, my workstation consists of a HP EliteBook thats never open and directly connected to my 32inch LCD. so im also thinking about the idea of doing a KVM switch and have the ability to toggle between the two at the office. This would leave my desk clean and simple. BUT, that doesnt do anything for me at home and travels (but then again i have a laptop, so i dont see where the need would be) and a HDMI KVM switch is not a cheap solution either.
Thoughts?

Im using the docking station and it has been great for me I find myself hardly using my laptop anymore which is also hooked up to my flat screen
as far as the web browsing goes its not as fast as the laptop but I have the wireless keyboard also and it makes a huge comfort difference, there is about a 1 to 2 second delay for me when I click a link for the page to load completely,, honestly I say give it a try and if you dont like it just return it,,, but I think you would really like the wireless keyboard it literally replaced my laptop I can do all my work from my phone now, its great,,
Using the HD dock with a portable wireless keyboard/mouse. Even though I wish it would do more it does make the phone more functional. Think it all depends on what type of apps you need to use. It makes it very nice when traveling to take the place of a laptop but in the office there are just too many Windows apps I need that won't run on my phone.
If I traveled more I know it would be a very nice feature to have.
I use my Lapdock daily for just about everything. I have found most useful replacements and with Logme In I can control all my PC's or Servers.
I also use the HD Dock which is connected to a 32 inch TV.
I like the device and all it offers.

One quick thing, xTMFxOffshore, I wanted to let you know that we all appreciate your contribution to the forums, and I wanted to personally thank you.
I haven't really done much Man. I'm not a Dev. So I just try to help where I can. But no problem.

There has been some discussion, but none since the Consumer Preview came out about being able to get Windows on a tablet such as the Gtab which is a Tegra2 chipset.
Does anybody know if it is even possible to get Windows on the Gtab at any point without a specific bootloader for it? With Android being more open than Windows we can tinker and change it far more than we ever will with Windows so I am not so much as asking if it is being done as much as I am asking if it can be done. And then if so if anybody is even looking at doing it. I would love to take a Consumer Preview copy and try to install it on my Gtab just to see if it would work but I don't know enough about tablet technology to even start, desktop on the other hand I'll get working, but not with a tablet.
So after all this, if anybody is willing to assist in trying this I am will to test it out. I have 2 Gtabs and I am willing to put one up for testing, but I want to do the testing so I can learn if anybody is will to teach.
IMO Never

gTab doesn't come close to meeting the min hardware specs that Microsoft has published for Win8 tablets (screen res, hardware buttons, storage space, UEFI support, Bluetooth 4.0, 720P camera, magnetometer & gyro, etc). It is doubtful that any modern Windows version will ever run in the 512M of memory the gTab has. In addition, MS has also said that Win8 Tablet will be tied to hardware (you won't be able to go to your local PC store & pick up a copy to install on any old tablet). The vendors will tie Win8 to their specific hardware & that is the only way you will be able to get it.
FYI, the Win8 tabs that were given out at BUILD had an Intel core i5 processor, 4G ram, 64G SSD, 1366x768 display, Wireless N, & 3G.
With android, devs have access to os source code that helps them to be able to modify android to the varying hardware. In the case of Win8, I don't believe you will ever see MS release source code which would make the task of porting to an unsupported devices next to impossible. Just my 2 cents.

Hi guys and girls.
I have just brought a transformer prime and have to say it is awesome, but I have one question, as an it consultant i do a lot of work remotely something I am currently doing using a laptop with windows rdp.
Can anyone recommend a solid fast rdp client for my droid so I can finally kick the windows laptop into touch.
I would prefer a free one but dont mind paying and the only criteria is that it can connect to VNC\RDP connections with Network Level Authentication(NLA) and actually be useable to control windows and linux boxes.
Thanks in Advance
I have been using splashtop and it runs great, all of the hardware that i have tried out so far has worked like the touchpad. it also lets you log in with your google account so you dont have to mess with port forwarding and dynamic dns, it just finds it automatically. its pretty cheap too from what i remember. I use it almost daily. in fact i believe the splashtop server is available directly from ASUS's site.
i believe it does do RDP but if you are looking for a strictly RDP client then i think remote desktop client by xtralogic might suit you better i believe it runs about $15. not sure on the linux boxes for either client tho.
maybe someone else might know of a good free one or something that might work a little better. usually most of them have a free version or a 15-30 day trial.

Thanks will give them a go any other ideas people
In my experience, Xtralogic is the best! I paid full price for it and it's damn worth it
Best mouse + keyboard integration I've seen or imagined.
Of course if you want to do gaming instead of office work, Splashtop THD has you covered.

My money is on Jump Desktop. Tried them all and this is the best. VNC and RDP. Full mouse support incl. right click and scroll wheel. Works great with the dock keyboard.

I've read some threads throughout XDA about emulators but nothing that I want answered, has been. I have a laptop, a pretty nice Medical Tablet currently running Windows 7 (which it was made for XP hehe but it has good enough hardware to run 7). I don't need 7, I just cannot stand the outdated crap.
BUT, the only reason I have that laptop is for automotive tuning. I run 1-2 Programs, very small in size. (http://www.tactrix.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=category&layout=blog&id=36&Itemid=58 and http://www.evoscan.com/ <--Android App being designed )
One piece of hardware attaches to the USB port of the laptop called an Open Port 2.0. It requires a couple drivers which I have. And The Android devices I use have the USB Host abilities but require something like a powered hub or powered cable since the Galaxy Tab 10 doesn't have power out.
So my questions are.... is this possible? The Galaxy Tab 10's screen is more than large enough for my needs. I wish they would make an Android Application for the Tuning software. Hell I've been asking for a Linux Application for a while. If I can eliminate my only need for that laptop, I'll sell it and.... IDK buy myself another tab, maybe donate to some of my favorite developers.
what are your thoughts? Is drivers an ability in one of these emulators for say Windows xp? Or anyone wanna port over my tuning software ? lol
